Default Biofinity to try

Hello dear lens community!
I am new user and decided to create account because I found a lot of useful information here. So I am about to try Biofinity. I am using CooperVision Frequency Aspheric 55 for many years, and I was completely satisfied by them, until I started to have irritated eyes too often, maybe due to long hours in front of computer. My doc offered me to try AirOptix, and they hurt like hell, so we stayed of Frequency. As I am having several issues with eyes for few months, I've decided to find new lens with higher DK, because I think constant eye irritation may happen because of low oxygen. Comparing different lenses, biofinity look like most suitable, because it is also aspheric (I have mild astigmatism, but Focus Dailies were quite ok), and it has high dk and enough of water, doc told low water content is what hurts my eyes. I am also thinking to try Acuvue Oasys or Avaira, what are your suggestions? Is Avaira slightly different from Biofinity, I read it is softer? And does Oasys contain enough water comparing to Air Optix, not to hurt my eyes? Any comments are welcome, especially I am interested, if here is any Frequency Aspheric wearer, who switched to some other lenses, and what is the choice. Thanks!

P.S. Advice to ask doc himself is not welcome as I am out of the city for some time )

I've heard a lot of good things about Biofinity lenses. They should work out for you. I've not had personal experience with them, but I'm hoping that someone who does have experience will be along shortly to help.
